   HELP !!!!!

   My friend gave me a Toshiba 3100 laptop.  The hard disk starts
   spinning when I power up, but quits before it gets up to speed.

   Does the disk need to be replaced?  Is there any diagnostics
   I can run?   Is there any Toshiba experts out there?

   I do not know what size disk drive it is, but the maker of the
   drive is JVC.

   If I want to sell it, it is better to first fix the drive, or
   is it worth anything with a broken drive?

   Is anyone interested in it?

   Thanks for any advice,
